Cuban leader Fidel Castro, who ranks as the third longest-serving world leader (with the number one most unkempt beard), announced today that he will be stepping down after a 49-year rule. Taking over the tiny Caribbean nation, where Bic pens and tampons are worth more than photos of Britney's pudendum, will be his almost-as-old brother Raúl, who's been the titular head of the country since Fidel died was diagnosed with diverticulitis and other myriad medical maladies.

What kind of man is Raúl, and what kind of leader will he make?
